After about 4 months and a long, hard Off-Season, the time has finally arrived where we get to see our mighty Red and green take the field again. I've been waiting for this day since that Grand Final last year and well, it has FINALLY arrived. Our Off-Season is officially over and the real work and the real road begins. That's right, it's game day once again! God, that feels good to say! Fills we with joy and excitement! Great to wake up with that game day feeling in my stomach and the Red and Green flowing through my veins. We take on the Cowboys tonight up there in Cairns in our first hit-out of 2022, our first trial of 2022. I know it's only a trial but it's still really important, you don't need me to tell you the importance of trials.
Not sure what to expect from the Cowboys today as a lot oof their players are unknown to me currently so it's hard to predict what sort of side we'll come up against. However, just because they're unknown, doesn't mean they should be underestimated. I'm sure we're in for a really tough game today.
A win would be nice but the result doesn't really matter. It's about all those young guns and fringe guys taking the field today and donning the famous jersey, giving their all, showing their commitment, staking their claim for the Season ahead and showing us what they've got. It's a chance to test combinations and see how guys settle into new positions, we all know that's what it's about. I'm a bit disappointed the likes of Taaffe, Ilias and Havili aren't playing but I'm still so excited to see how the other guys go. Especially interested in Paulo at left centre, Young Karapani, Hawkins at halfback as we may need him throughout the Season, Mitchell starting and also some of the other fringe guys like Sele and Cartwright getting a go. A lot of new young fullas I've never seen play before either so that's exciting.
Just want to see everyone give it their all today!! First trial for 2022, Footy is back! I'm so bloody ready, lessshhhgoooooo!!!!
